Dried fruit and cocoa nib granola bars

To capture the fruity flavours and pulpy feeling of fresh cocoa pulp in a snack size delight, I decided to bring together the vibrant sensation of selected fruit pieces, the crunch of roasted nuts and the comforting combination of cocoa nibs and Callebaut® dark chocolate. Customers will literally be eating out of the palm of your hand.
